Fig. 3 is a sectional View illustrating amodified manner for se-' curing the cymbals together, and the remainingfigures are similar views. Fig. 4 is simply a modified form of my torch,showing the head'as itself forming and being the oilpot, with thecymbals attached to the lower part or neckof said head instead of thetop of the head. Fig. 5 is also a modified form of 'my torch and showsthe oil-pot torches being placed within the hollow head, withcymbalsattached to the lower part or neck of r said head instead of on the topof the head.

In Fig. 8 the cymbals are again shown as stamped out ofv metal and in aform asshown.

The purposes of my invention areto provide a novel, striking, andcharacteristic device paign purposes, and tl1elike,'and to combinetherewith a torch, light, or similarpyrotechnic device, and to alsoprovidemeans for making a musical sound. r Itwill be evident fromtheforegoi ug description that-the lamp or torch carried upon "theuppermost disk will illuminate the surroundings and that the carrier byraising and sound.

ccpting as defined in the claims.

Having described my invention, what I.

claim is -1. The combination with a rod or staff, of

a disk fixed thereon, a disk movably arranged 1 over said fixed disk,and a torch carried by said upper disk, substantially as described. 2.The combination with a rod or staif, of the representation of a humanhead supported "thereon and a sounding device carriedby said rod orstaff above said head and adapted to be operated thereby, substantiallyas described. 3. The combination with a rod or staff, of therepresentation of a human head, carried by the rod or staff, a soundingdevice and a torch also carried by said staif, substantiallyasdescribed.

4. The combination with a rod or stafi of the representation of a headcarried by said rod or staff a pair of cymbals above said head one diskof said cymbals being attached rigidly to the head and the other diskloosely connected to said first disk substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing \vito nesses.
